For Parents

Happy 2019!  I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable Winter Break with your family and friends and that you experienced special time doing all the things you love to do.  With a new year upon us, I am reminded of the quote from Melody Beattie, “The new year stands before us like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.” (PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FULL JANUARY NEWSLETTER)

Dear Region 12 Band & Chorus Families,
 
Just a reminder … it’s almost here! Our first Unified Concert is on Thursday, January 17 at 7:00 pm in the SVS Auditorium! (Please note the change in time).  We will have a short rehearsal before the concert to get used to the space and to rehearse our transitions.
 
  • Students in band should be at SVS by 6:00 pm. (Follow signs for warm-up rooms & case storage)
  • Students in chorus only should go to the auditorium by 6:15 pm.
  • If your child is in both groups please have them there by 6:00 pm.
  • Our dress code will be to “dress nicely”.
The auditorium will open to audience members at 6:45 pm.  We are very excited to try our new concert format and appreciate your support and flexibility in advance as we work out the details to make this event a success.  If you have any questions please let us know.  We hope to see you there!
 
Sincerely,
 
Jacob Bartfield, Booth Free School
Jen Doiron, Burnham School/Washington Primary
Mark Obolewicz, Shepaug Valley School
